Third place?

Articles like this are more than a little disheartening to me, as it increasingly seems that Seattle may be settling in as the third-best restaurant city in the Pacific Northwest. (Small consolation that the legal tender in one of the cities is the world's most expensive Monopoly money, or that the other is a silly place in many ways.) Seattle does have its pleasures, of course, but it's thin in numerous areas, including, oddly, seafood. If someone wanted me to take them to our temple of seafood, I would be at a loss.

Portland also has Powell's and a Saks Fifth Avenue. Yet its skyline remains almost nonexistent.

Having eaten at C in Vancouver, I can definitely say that it's a Temple of Seafood.

Closest I can think of in Seattle would probably be Ray's Boathouse.

Having eaten in both of those places too, I rest my case. Here we also have Shuckers and Flying Fish, and I like them both, but they are more like Chapels of Seafood.
